LITELU v REVIEW. Many new' atlenturers,are preparing to follow • the sante track; - and in the course of a few more sea , sons, we may perhaps be enabled to construct a literary Chart 'to Italy, in which every stage shall • be marked by a reference to some itinerant seriter. Amid(' perhaps he disposed to drpreeate the elects-of this complicated cacoethes for travelling and writing. but that occasionally, amongst the ,khoals of,ephemeral -writings which- the tide of . emigration forces on the, public, we should some „. times recognise a volume'of real merit, worthy to be ss:lected and preserved.amongst the varieties of the literary cabinet. To this class belongs a work latejy Published, by Mr.. Sass,, whose journey to Dome and Naples is equally calculated to gratify tiWuntravelled reader, and to direct the pursuits "end facilitate" the l.hours of the future tourist. '• Sass ii .- evidently etnbued with that taste and ' .enthusias m for the arts, that liberal spirit, conge rtral to-all cOttivated minds, without which mere acctrrate,details of towns and roads, of pictures and scenery, are . vapid and rstrinteresting. The forowing• introduction to, Venice reminds us of tine of the most beautiful Striniall in Lord IIYILON'S fourth 'Canto of Crinnt.: Haftoca, by a coincidence of observation which is equally creditable to the trtalr of the Poet's.imagery and the spirit of the tr.aveller's description " On our arrival at'Fosina,a phenomenon struck our sight in the appearance of a city, with al! its domes and spires, rising front the sea.' * The chief 'celebrity of this city consists in its situation, which is uniquo; in its. former power and opulence; in the noble spirit of independence which once animated its people, and from which it derived its origin: and in its being the seat of that school of art, linown under the name of Venetian, distinguished fOr all'its alluring blan 7 dishments, decorations, and Ooliniring. At the head of this school are the celebrated liarues of Titian, Paul Veronese az: dTi nto t. 4 , W e passed the Lagnnes,in a gondola, and arrircet oppo site St. Mark's, where we resteelsonte time, to enjoy the de lightful scene. by which . we were surrounded. Magnificent edifice's appeared on all sides emerging from the ocean; St. Mark's in front; the Arrenal and St. Georgio Maggiore on the right; the Grand Canal, with its superb range of build ings, on the left and the Custom-bouse behind. " Boats piled up wits delicious fruits, displaying an assem blage of the most lovely colours in all their beautiful varie- ties; others loaded with vegetables, or with casks filled with fresh water brought from thii neighbonrhig shores, were -:slowly inuring to their several . points of, debarkation. Innu .merable gondolas were passing in crery direction, with va , - riuus degrees of velocity, as business or pleasure might sway their inmates, and steering amid cacti other with the greatest nicety. The landing places were as crowded with people as the water was with boats, and all was bustle and activity.— We then pas Fed up the-grand canalovhich - winds through the centre of the city, and came in sight of the far famed but significant Rialto. Stretched on the downy pillows of a On dola, enjoying the most luxurious case, and gliding along the canals which intersect the city. in every part, was delightful The rittily decorated houses and splendid palaces which adore their sides, presentin; themselves in constant succession and in a capricious and almost endless variety,. formed a new and pleasing sight. " The windows of my chamber faced the north ; the grand canal ran beneath, on 'which was a constantly moving scene ; the Rialto on the right, and in front at a distance appeared the snow-capt Alps. At night, the deep gloom .in which every thing was immersed, was occasionally relieved by the pacsing, crossing, and intermixture of the lights from the gondolas, conveying their owners from the public amuse. meats to their homes. The. gondolas, which are black, not being seen, it had the appearance of manic; • and it was no', ditheult to imagine there were airy sprites in the height revelry, performing their evolutions.'.' • The Author's first glcince 9f Rome is equally impressive. " Advancing upon the ancient Flaminian way, we entered Rome be the Porto del pnpolo, and engaged apartments in the Piazza d'Espagna.. Every one, on visiting a celehrated city, should endeavour to become acquainted with its locali ties : to do this, I would recommend that the most elevated points should be ascended, taking a map, and from thence to compare every part, marking the situation of the principal buildings. The circuit of the city should next be made, and by doing this, in a short time the whole place would he fami liar. The best places fur this purpose are, the tower on the Capitoline bill, and the tops of the, Antonine and Tvajan columns ; these being centrically situated, the city, ancient and modern, spfeads itself around them. Besides these, there are fine points of view from the Pincean hill, Mount Janiculum, the castle of St. Angelo, and the top of St. Peter's. " Rowe :-.-The subject is so overpowering that I know not how to begin ; my mind is distracted by a thousand different thonglits—a thousand various feelings agitate me. If I could confine myself to its ancient state, what a glorious theme to dwell upon ; but lam upon the spot—.;on the spot on/y—where it formerly stood—the illusion is dissipated--and floods of tears succeed each other when I find that Rome, with all its greatness, has vanished from the earth. " But I hare seen St. Peter's—St. Peter's—contemptible— St. Peter's cannot. bear a comparison with the ruins of ancient Rome ; how then can the sight of it compensate for the de struction of the other. Still more acute must this feeling he, when sv knoW that not all the civil brawls; not all the igno rance and want of taste in the-latter Emperors ; not all the rage and indiscriminate fury of the barbarians, nor the Bigotry and fanatic zeal in the darker ages, have tended so much to the destruction of ancient Rome, as those families who, in 1 heir wretched feeling, would build themselves palaces by the spoliation of the finest monuments of Roman grandeur. Steil is the fact, they have not only robbed, hut they bare utterly destvoyed many of the finest works. They had not even the fac.tlty of appropriation. How many cornices, fluted columns, and beautifully executed capitals, have I seen cut up and used as'lnerely blocks of marble And after they A JOURNEY to ROME and NAPLES, performed in 1S17; giving "Account of the Present State of Society in ii.►J} ; - and containing Observations on the Fine Arts.

This is merely endeavouring to palliate - illiberal conduct by argu ments still more illiberal; and as to the idea of the Jews selling at a low price, it is altogether ridiculous to suppose that they would sell at a loss. Are the Manufacturers of Germany so blind as to imagine that they can by ,any 'pro cess whatever compel the German people to pur chase their goods at a. high price, when they can obtain articles manufactured in England, of a similar, or of a better quality, at a lower rate.

We received 3:sterday the Paris Papers of tursday last, and this morninr, those of Friday. 'e Duke of WFLLINGTON arrived at Paris on Wednesday evening. An article floor Rome, ued the 15th ult. says,. " A report has been in circulation, that M. FRANCHINA PEROAMA, first Chamberlain to the incess of WALES, hail been poisoned ; the fact is, that he has been seriously ill, bttt he is thueli recovered, and it still remains' doubtful whether poison was administered to him.

One Month Three Months 23 f. 7.5 c. 23 f. 55 c. We have taken, from two Morning - Papers of this day, which we have r'espectively mentioned, some letters from,Fninee respecting the French Loan. The rise in the French Funds has.been attributed to the supposed stability of the present French Government. Our own Correspondent has given many reasons; which be ably stated, .for believing that the removal of the ALLIED TROOPS would add considerably to the strength, and indeed would fully establish the security of that Government. It is said, that our Bankers were induced to agree to advance the Loan by the sante conviction ; but we should con ceive that they were rather induced to act upon the idea that the Troops would rem3in for the protection of France , itself, as well for the tran quillity of Europe. Nothing, however, will con vince us that the measure in question would be at tended n ith soch•beneficial consequences, hut, on the contrary, we should consider it as the signal for Jacobin artifice, and the sure Precursor of such internal cornmotions as would not only tend to the subversi on o f th e F renc h Th rone , b ut to the disturbance of all Europe. We, therefore, earnestly hope :hat no such measure is intended. dfr ve stated on Saturday th e ca use of the w•b• potetnent of the Prorogation of Parliame nl ' e lo evil be seen by o ur R e p ort o f w h a t took ph ic , tltetvvo Houses, that the Lords agreed not to list on their amendments in the Anew- 01 ' 1, 1 1) o in consequence passes, without. the 91*tCd to by the Coltmons ; but, • pi prOdide by another moue for the att ailirli . t o, of the purpose sought by the clause in qu esti o Lord • CASTL EREAGH gave not i ce in t he 171t) s , olCommons of his intention to move this d the in; for leave to b r i ng i n a Bill to si"PellFo, ojeration of, the -Scots Law (naturalizing ct refiners purchasi ng a certa i n amoun t of 51° 0 ofthe Bank Of Sc o tl an d) unt il the 25th il re l p ar o l nett, in order to afford time f or its totoi ' in the next Session.
